20 years ago I quite my career to become a stay at home mom.

Volunteered daily at my kids school and homeschooled them after school. They had Algebra down by the end of the 3rd grade. (Now one is an MD and the other a PhD in AI. Was sooo worth the pay cut!)

Things in public schools have gone down hill major ever since.

An amazing amount of wisdom displayed on a thread decrying our "educational" system.

Irony? Or is it still possible to self-educate even when handicapped.

The o.p. and that testimony brings to mind something that occurred to me recently

The curiosity of a child knows no bounds ,,, till they attend .gov schools

.gov schools kill curiosity by usurping it.

They don’t teach so much as they leash and bore silly on purpose

Give a child free rein to learn

and it’s like a dog chasing a ball

They never want to stop,

and they pursue it with gusto.
